Using Zoho Analytics - Ask Zia Skill in Alexa

Example: "Alexa, open Campaigns workspace". Alexa will reply "Campaign workspace is set as the current workspace".

4. Switch Workspaces: If you want to change the workspace, simply say, "Switch to {the workspace name}". This allows you to transition between different workspaces seamlessly and explore insights.

Framing Questions

Ask Zia understands the underlying intention of your questions and provides an appropriate response. However, the terms used while asking a question might differ from the column name. The synonyms feature helps resolve the above issue. With the synonyms feature, you can match the terms in natural language with the corresponding column in your data set. Refer to the section Training Ask Zia for more details.
